Summary:                    libgdk_pixbuf.la references non-existent .la files,
breaks graphviz builds
Description: 
Building graphviz fails with:

/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link cc  -g -version-info 6:0:0  
-L/opt/csw/lib -o libgvplugin_gdk_pixbuf.la -rpath /opt/csw/lib/graphviz
gvplugin_gdk_pixbuf.lo gvdevice_gdk_pixbuf.lo ../../lib/gvc/libgvc.la
-L/opt/csw/lib -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0
-lintl   
grep: /opt/csw/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la: No such file or directory



I believe this error is originating from:  /opt/csw/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la
which contains a reference to this non-existent file.  (Also to ls:
/opt/csw/lib/libgobject-2.0.la and /opt/csw/lib/libglib-2.0.la)


A more general question is: why are .la files being installed at all by
opencsw?
I don't understand all the rationale, but I note that Fedora does not
install any .la files.
